Looney Tunes Dash!
Parent and Kid Reviews
Based on 5 parent reviews
What’s It About?
Bugs Bunny is on the run from Elmer Fudd again in LOONEY TUNES DASH! You run, trying to dodge obstacles and collect coins, swiping up to jump or down to slide. Swiping side to side lets you switch lanes. The hook here is power-ups that let you suck up nearby coins or crash through an obstacle. Other characters from the cartoon universe appear from time to time, attempting to distract you in one way or another.
Is It Any Good?
Adults may roll their eyes at yet another endless runner, but kids will probably have a good time with Looney Tunes Dash! The game's not difficult, which makes it accessible to kids, and the creative power-ups (which turn Bugs into a superhero or help him collect all nearby coins) are plentiful and fun. The cameos by other characters are generally bland, with the exception of Daffy Duck, who runs in front of you and takes the coins before you can get to them, and Gossamer, the hairy red monster you transform into with one power-up, who barrels through everything in his path. The push for in-app purchases is a bit heavy, but if that's disabled in the phone or tablet's settings, this is a game you can feel safe letting your child enjoy.

Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
